Friday Foolishness – Free Time Edition

What a week! Not just one, but two big birthdays, of two of the coolest people in the sphere!
I was honored when Sooz gave me a blog of the year award, and again with a very inspiring blogger award from Edward Hotspur.
No idea why I got these, but you guys should definitely check out their blogs. (always a high point for me when they post!)
And finally, Surfer Stoke put up a great post about the radio show from hell.

Thanks to them and you, for another great week of stuff to read!

FOOD BABY!!!

Last week, it wasn’t about the reading, but the writing. We asked you to note down how, after the holidays, you would lose the weight. And wow, you weren’t shy about your methods! Here’s what you said. (As always, my comments spend a lifetime on the hips in italics.)

Congratulations to Brain Tomahawk for this weeks winning answer! And from the offered choices, the most popular was Wait – is this another “break a resolution” poll?. So congratulations to all you lucky, confused people out there!

Exactly what is a henge anyway?!?

I’ve noticed that the days have started getting visibly longer. Today, the sky won’t be dark until about 5 pm! For me, that means we’re well on our way on the uphill climb to spring. But why wait? Why not take advantage of it now?
That’s this weeks poll.
Answer soon, answer early. But answer by 2359 EST on 17 Jan, because that’s when this one ends.
And if you write in an “other” response, leave a way to identify you, and I’ll link back to you next week.)

oh i think you might have taken best this week (no offense BT) with the comment about cutting off your head wont help because these comments come from your ass… I didn;t just laugh I snorted and THEN laughed… that was a good one…Have a great weekend and… 😉 say hi to TMWGITU for me..

I know right? like twice in a month long period of time… i am getting good..or was it longer? oh who cares still twice in ..oh that was last year huh? well i am still happy. so really it means i stayed up all night and happened to be staring at the inbox when you went live.. except that one time 6 months ago? I woke up early 😉

do I know how to get there? I tried before but I am a little slow on the uptake sometimes… I would very much like to visit..so do not think the lack of my presence willful …
i maybe tied up and not able to get there but that is doubtful..

I will try sending you an invite Lizzie 🙂
If that doesn’t work then just click on my
name here and a window will open to
show that my Space is Private… Then
you just click on Request Access and I
will get an email to let me know 🙂 Then
of course I will open the gates and you
can enter my New Space 🙂 Wicked…

I’m glad somebody’s seeing the days grow longer. It just seems to get colder and gloomier here–we’re having an unseasonable cold snap.

Grinderman? Good choice. I knew you were eclectic, but I didn’t figure you for a Nick Cave man. Have you heard “The Ship Song?” You probably have, but if not, give it a listen. It’s not to everybody’s tastes (and very different than Grinderman), but I think it’s lovely.

Thank you El Guapo, hey call in whenever
you like but just watch out for any wayward
looking Nymph’s… Hey hold on a minute, I
haven’t even added any of those yet, well
not enough anyway for your liking, I mean
my liking 🙂 lol

Well no, actually it was a really stupid thought, okay time to grab some right now and make sure that they are suitably dressed, we can’t have naked ladies running around my new Space now can we? Or is that another silly idea? 😦 lol

Holy! I never realized you were like… uh… so friggin popular! Had I known I would have combed my hair before visiting you, what will people think? I’m so disheveled. I’m so embarrassed… *runs out of the room hiding her face under a Wal-Mart bag*

How did it get to be Sunday already? So much for my resolution to get here on Friday. I might need to start calling in sick once a week so that I can give my favourite bloggers the attention they deserve…

Ha! I actually had to go back and reread teh question, Underconver.
Just wondering what you’re going to do with all the extra sunlight now that the days are getting longer (in the northern hemisphere).

Thank you El Guapo, it has been snowing today and the temperature has dropped to -8 so a bit on the nippy side 😦 I could do with a nice Vampire wench to warm me up a little, actually an orgy of wenches sounds a lot better 😉 lmao

Shit, I’m so late here. How many entries did Erickson put in there? I do like Brain Tomahawk’s answer. Walk uphill both ways, with only flimsy shoes, and those buckets of water you have to haul from the local well! And thank you again for participating in my birthday blast, Guap!

Ok, just checking in. I’ve been staring at the Food Baby picture for five days now, and I’m ready to poke my eyes out. My first foray into Foolish Friday, and I’ve have writer’s block (or more appropriately, one-liner block) for the first time in my life. I think I am moving into “inane territory” and will add my 2-cents worth tomorrow. As for the previous responses, I thought BT’s walking in snow was a classic.

Keep the extra fat for awhile, and hope it comes in handy for hibernation. That answers both last week’s question and this week’s question. Sorta. Whenever I think of Stonehenge, I think of Spinal Tap…
